articquad Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'm interested in starting to ReMix, now that I have a mac. So I'm interested in buying the expansion, but I wanted to make sure it was worth it beforehand. Any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerrax Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Get Logic. GarageBand is so limiting it makes me sick. Haven't tried the remix tools yet (I assume you are speaking of the remix tools jam pack). It does look interesting, but if GB's included drum kits are any indication of how the remix tools are, I wouldn't expect much. I have the symphonic jam pack and it is not terribly impressive. Free stuff and cheap (like $15) AUs do more than Apple's overly simplified GB jam packs. Honestly, Logic Express is loaded with great stuff and tons of samples that GB doesn't have. For the cost of a few of those expansion packs, you can get a massive upgrade in power, control, and flexibility. And Logic is completely backwards compatible with GB.

OverCoat Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Logic is extremely capable, yes, but with capability comes complexity. Another option for the Mac is Digital Performer. I've heard great stories from people who use both Logic and Digital Performer, but it's not like you can't make an OCR quality song with GarageBand: http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01358/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Garageband itself is fine, but instead of the expansions, I suggest just getting some free soundfonts. Though I agree Garageband isn't the best program for doing tons of crazy stuff, it is very solid and great to learn from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
